  • Episode 15: Not Mine to Carry

    Quote: "I wonder how much of what weighs me down is not mine to carry" ~Unknown

    Listen into this episode as Sara, Lisa, and Kelly unpack this powerful quote, "I wonder how much of what weighs me down is not mine to carry." Lisa shares how her cancer diagnosis from 9 years ago was a real "wake up call" for her to have a new heightened awareness to how much of the stress she was having in the years prior may have been because she was unknowingly carrying the responsibility and concern for people and things that were not hers to carry. Sara shares how she has felt weighed down when she has offered advice to a friend and then felt frustration when they haven't acted on her advice. Kelly shares how carrying the weight of her struggle with secondary infertility actually hindered her for some of the joys of being a mom to their son. As the ladies discussed the "weights" we as women often choose to carry, they concluded by shedding some new light on a popular verse, "Love your neighbor as yourself." It is very easy to focus only on the first part of this verse, but listen in as they share insights on the last two words of this verse. Honoring yourself is necessary before we can truly love others.

    Lisa sums up their conversation with this reminder of what to say to ourselves when interacting with others: "I did what I could. I am releasing the results. That is not mine to carry."

  • Episode 14: Sound check, testing 1, 2….Done is better than perfect.

    Quote: "Done is better than perfect." — Sheryl Sandberg

    Raise your hand if you struggle with perfectionism? I think if we are honest, we all do! In today's episode, Sara, Kelly, and Lisa share their "upfront and personal" experiences with perfectionism. Kelly shares how she has very high standards for herself and how she is challenged mentally and emotionally when she doesn't or can't meet the mark. Sara shares how perfectionism can also be disguised as procrastination. Whether it is in your life or business, if you find yourself holding back and not taking action, Lisa encourages you to remember that it only takes 30 seconds of courage, so just do it! And you will find the rewards of the personal growth you will experience will far surpass the need to get it perfect! Fail forward towards your big dreams! You are worth it, and taking imperfect action is the fastest to push past perfectionism, so just DO IT!

  • Episode 12: "I Get to" versus "I Should": How Desire unlocks the Feeling of Stuck

    Quote: "You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be" Wayne Dyer

    Have you ever had thoughts like, "I won't ever be able to lose that weight. We will never be able to afford that. I wish I could change jobs but that is not possible?" Well, listen in as Sara, Lisa, and Kelly unpack this powerful quote by Wayne Dyer.

    A lot of times we are not even aware of the defeating and discouraging thoughts we are thinking and allowing to take root as beliefs inside our soul. Kelly shares how she has wanted to get back to exercising and getting in shape but felt stuck, until she made the decision to take action and go to the gym. Those first steps all start with making a decision. But the desire has to be big enough. Lisa shares how freeing it has been to shift her thoughts from "I should…" to "I get to…" and then creating that mental picture of the desired results! Reading a book or talking with a mentor can also be a great way to "wake up" to the sheer fact that NO ONE is ever stuck. Sara shares when she is feeling stuck, she picks up the book Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill and how that helps to step out and make decisions that move her from feeling stuck, and towards the goals that are in alignment with her deeper desires and purpose.

    You can find the book Think and Grow Rich on Amazon at:

  • Episode 11: Mid-Life Crisis Re-defined

    "It is not a mid-life crisis, it is my mid-life awakening!" Sara Carlisi

    Mid-life crisis can have a negative connotation, but does that have to be the case? Today's podcast Sara, Lisa, and Kelly redefine it as a mid-life awakening! We are goal seeking beings, and in our early years, we have natural goals set for us: graduate highschool, then college, land a good job, get married, start a family, etc, but what about when you are a SAHM and send your child off to kindergarten and you have the whole day to yourself? What about when your kids move out and you are an empty nester? Do you set goals for yourself outside of your role as mom, wife, and employee? Listen in as they each share how at different times in their life, they have experienced a "mid-life awakening" and some suggestions on how to create "quiet time" to listen to your heart and discover your inner purpose, passions, and desires. This awakening can be energizing and fulfilling, and motivates us to not settle for just existing, but fully pursue all that life has waiting for us to discover! You will be inspired to redefine your mid-life and "wake up" to what your next big goal or dream!

Briana uses a tool called the Enneagram when mentoring her clients. By identifying their Enneagram number, she helps women understand why they may be getting stuck. With this awareness, they can then take control of their results! Knowing your enneagram and working with Briana can help you identify your superpowers to design a life you love!

  • Episode 6: Choosing Faith Over Fear - Lisa's journey with breast cancer

    Fear and Faith are really two sides of the same coin. Both require you to believe in something you cannot see. ~Unknown

    I think we can all relate to fear that creeps up in certain situations but faith and fear both require you to believe in something you cannot see. The choice is yours.

    In this week's episode, Lisa shares her story with her cancer diagnosis and all the fear that crept up during the process. Fear consumed her mind initially but when she decided to replace fear with faith, peace flooded her soul. This pivotal experience paved the way for other situations that have followed - she let's her faith run the show!

    And one of the best things - was the hope she shared with her children throughout her journey. Complete with a bald head cake during her chemo party. The strength and faith required to pass this key lesson onto her young children is something that will stay with you long after the conclusion of this episode.

    We are honored for you to tune in and get a small glimpse into Lisa's story. We encourage those needing support to reach out to Lisa and, for those struggling with a challenging diagnosis, we hope you choose to have faith in your journey as well.
